• Develop and test new venture concepts leveraging AI, data, and emerging technologies
• Rapidly prototype solutions with access to technical, clinical, and research partners

What You'll Do:

Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a relevant technical or scientific field

Strong product intuition and problem discovery skills

• Technical fluency in AI, machine learning, or data-driven systems
• Ability to operate in highly ambiguous early-stage environments
• Experience building teams or leading complex initiatives
• Ability to translate emerging technology into scalable businesses

Why This Role:

Cambridge/Boston is the global epicenter for AI + biotech convergence. This role is an opportunity to build at the intersection of:
